Following the identification of the guide, Li Zicheng took the lead and led people to rush into the gate of the Yamen. The gate of the Yamen was empty and unguarded. After entering the Yamen, he only saw a few figures running towards the inner Yamen in a hurry.
There were no soldiers rushing out with weapons in hand.
The soldiers poured in like a tide, and then spread like a tide throughout the yamen. Li Zicheng walked slowly towards the inner yamen. There was no sound of the collision of weapons in his ears, nor was there any sound of anyone being injured.
The screams he let out made him feel a little uneasy.
This Korean city was almost undefended. After entering the city, except for some Korean soldiers seen near the city gate, there was no one to stop them all the way from the city to the government office. This was a bit strange.
.
So far, there has been no roar of firearms from the city gate, which means there is no fighting there. It feels like Li Zicheng is going to take a risk and go to a big restaurant to have a king's meal and prepare it.
He was prepared for a meal, but as soon as he entered the restaurant, he found that the door of the restaurant was open on all sides, and the restaurant owner, shopkeeper, and waiters were all standing at the door to greet him, as if they were welcoming him to this over-the-top meal.
This kind of psychological expectation and contrast appeared in a very short period of time, which made people a little suspicious.
Li Zicheng is a little suspicious now.
"Caught! Caught!"
A burst of cheers from the soldiers came from the courtyard gate. This unique cheer with a Shaanxi accent immediately cheered up Li Zicheng, and all his suspicions disappeared. He hurriedly ran towards the brightly lit place in the distance, and waited until
When I arrived at the door of the inner office, I saw my subordinates escorting a group of well-dressed but earth-colored guys out of the house.
And the guide who came with his men and horses was talking to those guys in a lively manner.
"Who is the prefect here?"
Li Zicheng walked over and asked directly, these people were not wearing official uniforms, he couldn't tell them apart!
Well, even if he was wearing an official uniform, he couldn't tell the difference between the official uniforms of Korea. Anyway, he just knew that the cheers of his men were not without reason. The guide should have recognized the person he wanted to arrest.
.
"Back to my lord, Pyongyang Governor Yin was killed by the traitor Lu Zhen a few days ago. This person is the one who is in charge of affairs in Pyongyang with Lu Zhen's party!"
The guide said confidently, then turned around and said in Korean to the earth-colored guys: "My lords, don't be afraid. Lu Zhen betrayed the country and sought glory and harmed the chief official of the imperial court. He deserves death. My Shen family has been loyal to the imperial court for generations. Why?
I can see the gains and losses of this traitor, so in the name of my son Shenjun Censhen, Yin of Tieshan Prefecture, I am asking for help from a righteous teacher to help the imperial court to eliminate the traitorous party!"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Li Zicheng glared at the guide: "The matter is not finished yet. Ask them how many Tatar soldiers are still in the city and where they are stationed. Also, who is commanding the troops in the city now and how many soldiers are there in the city."
Ma? If you don’t want to die, let them tell me all this!”
"I know it all, I know it all!"
The guy who was said to be a traitor was about to lie on the ground alive, but after hearing Li Zicheng's words, he suddenly screamed loudly.
What made Li Zicheng look at him was that this person actually called him Daming dialect!
"Do you know Ming Dynasty dialect?" Li Zicheng was a little surprised. If this was the case, this person could not be killed in a hurry, and there was no harm in keeping him alive.
"Yes, yes, I will!" Jin Heechul said hurriedly. He knew that what he said next would probably determine his fate. He didn't know who the soldiers Shen Juncen invited were. However, since the other party was talking about the Ming Dynasty,
If you want to talk to someone from the Hou Jin Dynasty again, he can probably make some guesses.
"The villain has been doing business with Ming merchants for many years, so he knows some Ming dialect!"
He didn't give Li Zicheng a chance to ask, and told what he knew in one breath, as if he was afraid that the guys next to him would steal his words: "There are still more than ten Houjin people in the city, and the others have followed Lu.
Zhen went to suppress the bandits together..."
"There are still more than 500 defenders in the city, but they are all under my temporary command!"
"Gather your soldiers and horses, ask them to put down their weapons and maintain order in the city!" Li Zicheng said: "You, be the guide yourself and take us to the location of the Houjin Tatars!"
"You don't need to bother me!" Jin Heechul said loudly: "Since it is a righteous teacher who is assisting the court in exterminating the traitors, there is no reason for the court to stand by and watch. I will gather the troops and take the heads of those Houjin people and present them to you!"
Li Zicheng ignored him and pointed to a subordinate next to him: "You lead a group of people to follow him. If he makes a move, just watch. If he makes any other move, kill him immediately!"
Jin Heechul stumbled away as if he was receiving a general amnesty. Everyone present showed contempt on their faces.
"Sir, these people are all the big families in the city. As I told you last time, the Pu family, who are friends with my Shen family, are also among them. Do you think you can..."
"It's up to you..." Li Zicheng nodded: "I want to know where the bank, the arsenal, and the grain depot are. It would be best if they could lead us there. Tell them who helped us.
, I will not treat them badly..."
"Sir, wait a moment, I'll talk to them..."
Li Zicheng didn't think that his few hundred people could occupy this city, which was much larger than Yan'an Prefecture. He just wanted to get a vote and leave. Of course, the main purpose was to kill the Tatars and loot the city by the way.
Cut off the retreat of the enemy army besieging Tieshan City.
Therefore, the bank must be visited, and the grain warehouse must be burned. Even if it is not burned, even if it is divided among the poor people in the city, it is better than staying in the warehouse to make military rations.
And after doing all this, he would leave the city without hesitation.
After a while, the governor named Jin Heechul came back in a hurry. He was holding a knife in his hand. There was still blood on the knife, as if he had killed someone himself.
When he saw Li Zicheng, he immediately threw away the knife, knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
What he kept talking about was how the traitor Lu Zhen forced him to come to this government office to help the traitor do things, and how he hated those Jin people who did evil things behind Pyongyang City. Now, fortunately,
It was the arrival of the "Righteous Master", just like a living Bodhisattva who saved the suffering, and finally allowed all the people in Pyongyang to see the light of the right path in this dark world.
Li Zicheng kicked him away, turned around and asked his men: "Did he kill the Tatars with his own hands?"
"Those who survived and were caught were all brought to him by his men in person, and he killed them one by one!" The men nodded: "This guy is ruthless in his attacks. It's obvious that he is such a ruthless character!"
